You know, Israeli political discourse is really a joke. Israel has
killed ten times more civilians than Hamas and Hezbollah put together.
It has done so to enforce 46 years of military occupation and
colonization of a territory with millions of Palestinians who have been
denied the same right to self-determination that we Jews claim for
ourselves. An ILLEGAL occupation that has been certified as such by the
Security Council, the World Court and the General Assembly of the United
Nations and the overwhelming proportion of international lawyers –
a proportion similar to the votes in the General Assembly on every
question relating to Israel and Palestine. We all know why you want
Hezbollah and Assad out of the way and it has nothing to do with
terrorism. You just want to prepare for the murder of more people in
Iran, to stop them from having the nuclear weapons you and the United
States have. Like I said, a joke. Like pretending to sell your chometz
on Pesach.

Israel is the REAL originator and state sponsor of nearly all terrorism
Irgun gangs started it, it continued through the Lavon Affair, 9/11, USS
Liberty. Israel even up started and funded Hamas with the SAME charter
it has now. It's funny how the truth comes out over time. Good luck
Israel, it's time.

for avoiding the topic of discussion, which is, is Hezbollah a Terrorist
Organization? The definition of Terrorist in any language is, "One
who inflicts Terror on others". Therefore, wouldn't all you nice
people who come here to slate Israel 24/7 agree that Hezbollah, who
inflict terrible cruelty on fellow Muslims by torturing, raping and
murdering them are by definition "TERRORISTS"? No I thought
not. I therefore give my self the thumb's down for stating the obvious Truth....

Leon Klinghoffer was singled out for murder on the Achille Lauro because
he was Jewish, not because he was Israeli. During the !976 highjacking
of an Air France airplane JEWS were singled out, whether they were
Israeli or not. The AMIA building in Argintina was ta JEWISH community
institution not Israeli one and ditto the Chabad house in India.

army's thuggery is well documented. House demolitions, collective
punishment, dispossession, land theft, war crimes pending at the ICJ.
Most of you will be familiar with what I have left out for the sake of brevity.

Israel is steling land, water, natural resources from the Palestinians.
Israel is killing and imprisoning innocent members of the Palestian
population. Israel is destroying houses and infrastructure in the
Palestinian territorries. Israel is occupying Palestinian territory.
Israel is making racist and nationbalsit laws. So everyboby must ask
himselfe, whether this state is not a criminal and or terrorist entity.

Has the Gumption to ask for other organizations to be labeled terrorists
, what chutzpah .Bibi is really something. Come on Israel wake up , it
is high time to come back to the table , stop illegal settlements , and
make peace.
